Inpatient Care and Medical Equipment
Hospices report these services to Medicare when they are certified. This is what CANYON HOME CARE & HOSPICE reported, not a check of what it offers today. Confirm current arrangements with the hospice.
- Short-term inpatient care
- Arranged through another hospital or nursing home
- Type of inpatient care
- Respite care (up to five days at a time, to give family caregivers a break)
- Medical supplies and equipment
- Brought in through an outside supplier
Short stays in a hospice inpatient unit, hospital, or nursing home for pain or symptoms that cannot be managed where the patient lives, or to give family caregivers a break.
Equipment and supplies tied to the terminal illness and the plan of care, such as a hospital bed, oxygen, wound supplies, or a wheelchair.
Medicare lets hospices provide these services through arrangements with other organizations. Either way, the hospice stays responsible for the covered care in the patient’s plan of care.

Quality Performance
What Is Hospice Care Like in SAN ANTONIO?

What to Ask When Choosing a Hospice Provider
Finding the right care team is a big decision for your family. You should feel comfortable asking direct questions to any agency you consider. Start by asking how the team handles pain management after normal business hours. You need to know who will answer the phone at night or on weekends. Ask how many staff members will visit the patient each week. It is also helpful to ask about their experience with the specific condition the patient has. Ask if they provide volunteers to help with errands or companionship. You should also check if they provide equipment like hospital beds or oxygen supplies directly. Ask them how they handle communication with the patient's regular doctor. Clear answers help you understand how they will support your loved one. Take your time to get the information you need before making a choice.
